What is OAuth and why it’s being used?

Updated 

As mentioned in the previous question, we use the OAuth 2.0 protocol for the authentication and authorization of our endpoints. OAuth is an open standard for authorization that allows third-party applications to access a user's data without the need for the user's credentials. In simpler terms, it provides a secure and easy way for users.


With OAuth, merchants have control over which applications can access their data and can revoke access at any time. This puts the power in their hands and helps keep their data secure.
